Last year taught me a lot.
It taught me that the two of us are much more vulnerable as a country to something like a mass virus.
But I assume our vulnerability was exponentially increased because the two of us couldn’t act together to argue it. That was incredibly disappointing to witness as I hunkered down in the air conditioner of our home. I also determined that our job was a lot less secure than I thought. Taking our savings plus working from the air conditioner of our house are the only things that kept me surviving at all. And that’s after 20 plus years of repair to the same business. So there were a lot of taxing lessons to be l received over the past year. But there were some welcome lessons to be l received as well. For a single, I figured out how to reduce our spending on an enjoyable deal. And I have kept that going. This summer, I easily got proactive about saving all I could on heating and air conditioning cooling. Last year, I saved some but this year I went all in plus have saved a bundle. I sealed up the house in every conceivable way that I could to ensure the cool air stays in while the heat stays out. I invested in solar shades plus a smart control unit. They work in tandem to negate the effects of direct sunshine heating. And the smart control component is doing an enjoyable job making sure that the two of us aren’t over-cooling while the two of us are in the peak heating hours of the day. I can’t guess how much currency there was to save on heating and air conditioning cooling.
